From poverty to pets, from medicine to magic, from slang to sex, from wallpaper to women's rights. A glorious portrait of life in London from 1660-1670 by the bestselling author of ELIZABETH'S LONDON. Making use of every possible contemporary source - diaries, memoirs, advice books, government papers, almanacs, even the Register of Patents - Liza Picard presents an enthralling picture of how life in London was really lived in the 1600s: the houses and streets, gardens and parks, cooking, clothes and jewellery, cosmetics, hairdressing, housework, laundry and shopping, medicine and dentistry, sex, education, hobbies, etiquette, law and crime, religion and popular beliefs.

Another excellent book from Liza

I understand that the author began writing history books only when she had retired from a career in Law. She was born in 1927. Her writing is extraordinarily humane and interesting - and she is evidently tolerant and fond of her subject. I am immensely grateful for this book - and look forward very much to the others.
Fascinating
